Incantation

Ashkeen Tamanyan is an obscure greek female artist (1939 - ??) who met John Allen Cassady
and travelled with him during a journey in USA in the early 60s. After this "trip", her sculptural work
did evolve to live performances.

"Incantation" (circa 1963)
from tapes called "Δυσπραγία της ψυχής"
recorded by Ashkeen and
discovered in a storage by the independent curator Jack Perry Nolte.
